Novel developments on the OpenIPMC project

We present the recent developments in the context of the OpenIPMC project, which proposes a free and open-source Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) software and an associated controller mezzanine card for use in ATCA electronic boards. We discuss our experience in the operation of OpenIPMC on prototype boards designed for the upgrades of particle physics experiments at CERN and we show the addition of new features and support for new protocols in the firmware of the controller mezzanine card.
